After these messages we’ll be right back

October 23, 2009

This commercial for Cullman Liquidation Center came to me by way of Tim Ayres, a Realtor from Sooke British Columbia who wrote in his Twitter stream, “This is easily the best real estate commercial in history.” Thanks for the laugh Tim!

Discriminatory real estate ad attracts media attention

June 15, 2009

This post makes the “Too funny” category for the featured video’s surprise ending. If you start the video, please see it through to the end.
By way of Brendan King’s Twitter stream.

As a licensed Asian, I found this particular misunderstanding quite amusing and so did the other Asians in my office, but discriminatory practices are no [...]

Saskatoon home seller has one strange pricing strategy

October 27, 2008

This image is a screenshot taken from the Saskatoon MLS system that displays the price history of a listed property. The home seller is clearly confused. He has adjusted his price 16 times including 9 reductions and 7 increases. That’s right. 7 increases. Oddly, the asking price is still higher than it was the day [...]

Norm Fisher: One on one with RE Revealed in a Bubble Gum Interview

February 21, 2008

I’m not big on interviews. Perhaps that’s a bit odd for someone who is the “media spokesperson” for his company. One of the biggest challenges is the deadlines. Reporters always seem to call about an hour before they’d like to see you so you have to act quickly, and often rearrange other scheduled activities to [...]

Smallest house in Toronto on the market

December 27, 2007

The “smallest house in Toronto,” measuring just 300 square feet is being offered for sale at $173,000. That’s $577 per square foot.

Sitting on a narrow lot which measures in at 7.25 feet by 113.67 feet, this little charmer has been completely renovated from top to bottom. It features a living room, a kitchen, a [...]

Dirty, ugly, smelly house for sale

December 15, 2007

It may be dirty, ugly and smelly but according to this website (no longer available), it also offers “Great bones, and a great location.”

Shocking as it may be, there’s something remarkably refreshing about the truthful approach that this agent has taken to marketing this property. Let’s face it, this is an ugly house and [...]

March 9, 2007

I really got a chuckle out of this story and couldn’t resist sharing it.

It seems that a British Columbia woman has been sentenced to serve two years of probation in Saskatoon after she pleaded guilty to seven counts each of credit card fraud and possessing stolen credit card data, one count of theft under [...]

A note for Angela – a Saskatoon home buyer

January 30, 2007

I was browsing a blog I frequent when I came across a reference to a post that appeared on MySpace.com from a 25 year old Saskatoon woman who just purchased her first home. I was moved by her excitement and very much wanted to leave her a message. However, it seems that I need [...]

River Landing penis no big deal

January 26, 2007

Everyone’s talking about it, but apparently nobody is complaining about local artist Doug Taylor’s snow sculpture of a pair of magic mushrooms, one of which has a stem shaped like a penis.

Taylor’s sculpture is one of seven gracing the bank of the South Saskatchewan River at River Landing. They were carved last weekend from [...]
